...but not really an enemy. It's possibly a little more useful for oyster card holders rather than zip card holders like myself, but it still tells me my balance. One concern is the random bar below the season ticket section telling me that something to do with my zip card started early Aug 2013 and will finish early Aug 2015...? It's meant to expire Sept 2014
It tells me all I need to know about my oyster brilliant little app. But now no longer works unless you go to the tfl website and login and then update your details. It's tfl changing the login details and process not the app creator.
With a 4 bar signal and perfectly functioning 3G, after a day it can still give a delayed and incorrect balance reading, costing me £5.20 for making a £1.60 journey that it said I had more than enough to make.
Unable to use on Oneplus 3. Installed and it crashed automatically right after I inserted my account details. Crashed everytime I launch the app
Now it keeps force closing and wont load up my account. Only since update before then it was 5 stars easy
It used to work fine and I used to find it very helpful. After the update with tfl changing bits I sorted things my side and for a short while it worked but now whenever I attempt to open the app it always crashes before even opening it. Got pretty fed up with it crashing I uninstalled it. Shame really it used to be perfect.
I love this app - for years I've used it to quickly check my Oyster balance with a single tap. Unfortunately it seems to have stopped working since TFL's update last weekend. Please PLEASE fix it - it's SO useful!
App has stopped working properly keeps force closing the past fw wks
No legacy issues regarding the tfl system change. Just make sure you have logged on to the tfl website and updated your details and the app works brilliantly.
I used to use it normally before, but now it simply doesn't load account details, even after clearing the app data and reinstalling.
Not a consistent app. Going to find a better one til you sort yourself out.
Allows you to check your balance easily and click through to Transport for London website to top up. Update 04/12/2015: Is now one of the worst unusable apps with no updates! Uninstalled.
Admittedly, I don't use a lot of the features but from where I stand it's easy to use and does what I want.
App was showing me seemly random balances along with full oyster numbers and first names. Occasionally I was then able to transfer to the tfl website seemly already logged in. User names and passwords must be held centrally.
Terrible app. I've had it for a month and only been able to use it once as it fails to load data!!!
OK got despite the crashes the problem is found. The error was the fact it crashes and it reports an error. It turns out my credentials are wrong, as kindly someone pointed out. After resetting it and resigning in it works again.
Used to work on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 but now cannot get any of my oyster card information. Really annoying have to go on the internet to check my Balance etc. Annoying!!!! Sort it out!!!!
It force closed until I changed from a user name to an email for login, then worked great. Problem was with tfl.
Every time I want to open the app it stops! Uninstalling!
Doesnt even start force closes everytime disapointing
Installed this today ( Samsung Galaxy III ) logon page opens but the simply closes - unusable ;-( and... I did use my email address to login
Add journey history, if possible. And card expiry reminder would be great.
Won't load, not helpful!
It would be easier to have an option to use name for every different card.
Doesn't work on my mobile at all
As far as i can see this only shows balance of oyster card which you can see on tfl website or anywhere you tap in. Top up just directs to tfl website so you might as well go straight there. Like all oyster apps no NFC functionality but I understand this is a tfl restriction. However i don't see any benefit to this app over tfl website or ticket machines.
